But Mr Gould said he still loved her after the sentence was handed down.

Van Krevel was jailed in 2001 for six years for soliciting her then-boyfriend, Keith Shreiber, to murder her father, Jack Van Krevel, with a tomahawk in their Wollongong home. She said her father was molesting her daughter and also blamed him for the imprisonment two weeks earlier of her brother, Mark Valera.

Valera is serving a life sentence for the mutilation murders of former Wollongong mayor Frank Arkell and shopkeeper David O'Hearn.

In sentencing Van Krevel on Thursday, on one count of reckless wounding in relation to the stabbing of Mr Gould in 2013, Judge Ronald Solomon said Van Krevel's upbringing was "tragic".

Referencing psychologists' reports, he told Sydney's District Court on Thursday that Van Krevel had been physically and sexually abused by her father.

After being stabbed by Van Krevel, the court heard Mr Gould called his father, saying "Come and get me quick Dad, she has gone crazy. She thinks I'm Jack and she has stabbed me."
